Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 Red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 Green bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 Yellow bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 Yellow onion (sliced)
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 cups Cooked white rice (for serving)
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper, then sear them in the skillet until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary.
Transfer the browned beef cubes to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, then add the mixture to the crock pot.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well, then pour the mixture over the beef and onions in the crock pot.
Add the sliced red, green, and yellow bell peppers to the crock pot.
Set the crock pot to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and fully cooked.
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the crock pot mixture to thicken the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
Serve the beef and peppers over warm, cooked white rice. Enjoy!
